Fact Checking Rep. Bachmann's "Tea Party Response" To The State Of The Union

[California Girl]

What are the Obama lies Cali?

Why not find out for yourself, 'truth'? Or do you not bother fact checking your own side?

 

[Ravi]

Does this mean that Bachmann is the leader of the tea party? Awesome! I would have preferred Christine O'Donnell but this is almost as good.

You're the one that said he told ls you flaming dumbass, so its on you to prove that he lied, do your own work or quit making stupid ass claims.

I didn't even mention Ryan's lies. Bachman is definately a liar and she repeats false talking points because she's too stupid to do any research for herself.

Obama KNOWS what he is talking about. He writes his own stuff THEN it's tweaked.

It's spelled 'definitely', Sarah.

Obama lied in his speech last night. And.... no, he does not write his own stuff.... he instructs his speech writer about content. His speech writer produces a draft, Obama tweaks it..... probably more than once.... and eventually it is what it is. But it's still lies.

I have no idea why some people think this guy is different from every other President. This obsession over him writing his own shit is laughable.... unless, he's managed to create 48 hour days.

Care to parse the lies you claim?

CG didn't learn her lesson from the last time she bashed one of my sources only to confess that the link in the OP was focking right.

 

[RadiomanATL]

Using a media-monitors subsidiary to fact check a response to a Democratic SOTU is as stupid as using the Texas Republican party to fact check a response to a Republican SOTU.

Zero credibility, just another propaganda arm.

 

[CMike]

It's your radical left wing source that is lying.

Attack on the messengers, not on the message.

Oh, and look at the names of those who thanked CG for her helpful ad hominem:
Claudette (Today), CMike (Today), mudwhistle (Today)

LOL, an echo chamber circle jerk. How cute.

You mocking him has nothing whatsoever to do with the idiot response of Bachman .. who appears to have never picked up a history book in her life.

Obama lied in the SOTU. Ryan lied in his response. Bachman lied in her response. Color me shocked. Same old shit, different day.

Some of us are getting bored with the whole spin cycle. So we mock those who are dizzy.

You got that right.

It was the usual bs fest for the Prez with 80 stops for applause.

The usual bs fest for the response, in this case two responses. No applause.

Oh I'm sure each of the above had nuggets of truth but loads of bs as well. Don't think any of em would survive a real fact check.

Anyone who thinks different is, well, an idiot.

There is already a thead on Obama's SOTU lies, dumbass. I don't do spoon feeding idiots. Stupid boy.... linking to a left wing bitchfest about the right and refusing to accept that your boy lied too.... fucking partisan, unthinking, fool.

I attack a partisan source as not a non-partisan source for factually accurate, unspun, information. You do understand that, right? The source is a partisan one... it has a left wing agenda. Why would I take that seriously? It's applying critical thinking. Consider the source.

Very funny when he 'paused for laughter' and nobody laughed. That made me laugh.

Will Bachmann ever get any focking thing correct and stop shooting off typical rightwing false propaganda?

I read one of thier "counter points". Since it didn't refute what she said, since they had to go after the language she used and not the facts.

I will assume the rest of it is utter bullshit that only those that lack any form of critical thinking would beleive.

shocker, it's a flaygo thread

My, my, my. You didn't learn such profane language in professional writing school did you sweetie? I wonder...maybe, is it possible? Could be.
Personal question, CG. Are you LIEability in drag?

Yes it is, it highlighted Bachman's lies. Too bad her response wasn't aired on the networks and an analytical review wasn't offered but she's unfortunately considered a joke not to mention a diversionary attempt.

She did no harm to either the president nor Ryan.

Ryan talking about the accounting end of things sort of put people to sleep so no harm to the president there either.

The sotu was a successful speech except for maybe the plane crash analogy. I liked his comments on the repeal of healthcare by the morons in the house.

Not that Republicans won't get it all wrong and spin the fucking shit out of it, nonetheless..

The bipartisan Fiscal Commission I created last year made this crystal clear. I don’t agree with all their proposals, but they made important progress. And their conclusion is that the only way to tackle our deficit is to cut excessive spending wherever we find it – in domestic spending, defense spending, health care spending, and spending through tax breaks and loopholes.

This means further reducing health care costs, including programs like Medicare and Medicaid, which are the single biggest contributor to our long-term deficit. Health insurance reform will slow these rising costs, which is part of why nonpartisan economists have said that repealing the health care law would add a quarter of a trillion dollars to our deficit. Still, I’m willing to look at other ideas to bring down costs, including one that Republicans suggested last year: medical malpractice reform to rein in frivolous lawsuits.

The only thing that changed since the Stimulus became law is the way they count the unemployed. They even announced this fact when it changed, so the numbers reported are not accurate. It's gotten so bad that when new job losses dips below half a million the Obama Administration throws a party.

They don't count the actual unemployed, only those who are currently collecting unemployment. Those that lose their benefits go off the total. The actual unemployment rate is currently over 20 percent. Many of my renters have lost their jobs. In some states there has been massive increases in unemployment. Many illegal immigrants have returned to their country of origin, if they are able to, because there's no work here anymore.

^The above is quite simply wrong. The calculation of the reported unemployment rate (the U3) has not changed. at all.

 

[Old Rocks]

LOL. President Obama delivered a well thought out speech. It said some things that needed said, and put some ideas out there. Not a great inspiring speech, not a red meat for the base speech. Just a 'here's where we are and here is what we need to do the get where we want to get' speech.

And that presents the Republicans with a problem. How to respond without looking like fools. Bachman responded as normal, and looked like the fool she is. Ryan hit the snooze button. Politically, it was a win for our President.

Hey FAIL-O... how about you fact check that dumbasses speech from lastnight?

It was ALL a crock of steaming shit!

The Bush administration did the exact same thing. The Bush economy was a disaster.

And the people that laid off so many were hailed as "heroes". Carly Fiorina laid off 30-50K Techs at HP and shipped those jobs overseas. This was after she trashed Lucent.

I'll take that disaster over this one any day.... avg 5% unemployment. Yep, thats better than 9% + any day.

GE layed off 34,000 and shipped 24,000 jobs to India....and then

Obama recently tapped Connecticut’s General Electric CEO Jeffrey Immelt to chair the President’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness to reduce the stubborn unemployment rate.

More private sector jobs have been created in the past 12 months than the net total of the entire 8 years of the Bush administration.
